There are also pick-up items that drop when enemies or asteroids are destroyed. Aside from this, each of the additional game modes have their own gameplay different from the campaign/survival modes.

There are various weapons that can be chosen. The player's ship can use a light weapon (unlimited ammo) and a heavy weapon (limited ammo pick-up up during levels). Weapons include lasers, autocannons, spread guns, missiles, bombs and others. There are also some new weapons available through IAPs such as the Lightning Gun, Swarm Missiles, and more.
